INTRO: Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb FF Eb MajorEb
    Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb

Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb        FF
Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last night
       Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
With bruised arms and broken rhythm in a beat-up old Buick
  Bb majorBb        FF
But dressed just like dynamite
     Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb         FF
He tried sellin' his heart to the hard girls over on Easy Street
        Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb          FF
But they sighed Johnny it falls apart so easy and you know hearts these days are cheap
    Eb MajorEb                       Bb majorBb
And the pimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're a cheater
     Eb MajorEb                       Bb majorBb
Well the pimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're a liar
     Eb MajorEb                               Bb majorBb
And from out of the shadows came a young girl's voice said Johnny don't cry

Eb MajorEb   Eb/DEb/D C minorCm  Eb/DEb/D
Puerto Rican Jane
Eb MajorEb Eb/DEb/D   C minorCm   Eb/DEb/D    Bb majorBb  (Octaves: Eb MajorEb D MajorD C majorC Bb majorBb)
oh won't you tell me what's your name
     Eb MajorEb    Eb/DEb/D    C minorCm      Eb/DEb/D
I want to drive you down to the other side of town
   Eb MajorEb        Eb/DEb/D
Where paradise ain't so crowded there'll be
C minorCm      Eb/DEb/D      Bb majorBb
action goin' down on Shanty Lane tonight
     FF             Eb MajorEb
All them golden-heeled fairies in a real bitch fight
            Bb majorBb         FF
Pull thirty eights and kiss the girls good night

CHORUS 1:
  Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb   FF
Oh good night, it's alright Jane
       Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb       FF
Now let them black boys in to light the soul flame
    Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb       FF
We may find it out on the street tonight baby
  Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb        FF
Or we may walk until the daylight maybe

Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb           FF
Well like a cool Romeo he made his moves, oh she looked so fine
    Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb           FF
Like a late Juliet she knew he'd never be true but then she didn't really mind
      Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb                 FF
Upstairs a band was playin' the singer was singin' something about goin' home
           Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb          Bb majorBb       FF
She whispered Spanish Johnny, you can leave me tonight but just don't leave me alone

Eb MajorEb   Eb/DEb/D C minorCm Eb/DEb/D
And Johnny cried Puerto Rican Jane
Eb MajorEb   Eb/DEb/D   C minorCm    Eb/DEb/D   Bb majorBb  (Octaves: Eb MajorEb D MajorD C majorC Bb majorBb)
Word is down the cops have found the vein
    Eb MajorEb    Eb/DEb/D      C minorCm      Eb/DEb/D
Oh them barefoot boys left their homes for the woods
      Eb MajorEb       Eb/DEb/D     C minorCm       Eb/DEb/D
Them little barefoot street boys they say homes ain't no good
       Bb majorBb   FF           Eb MajorEb
They left the corners threw away all their switchblade knives
  Bb majorBb          FF
And kissed each other goodbye

Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb                 FF
Johnny was sittin' on the fire escape watchin' the kids playin' down the street
        Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
He called down Hey little heroes, summer's long
                    FF
But I guess it ain't very sweet around here anymore
   Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
Janey sleeps in sheets damp with sweat
             FF
Johnny sits up alone and watches her dream on, dream on
    Bb majorBb
And the sister prays for lost souls
   Eb MajorEb            FF
Then breaks down in the chapel after everyone's gone
Bb majorBb
Jane moves over to share her pillow
  Eb MajorEb                 FF
But opens her eyes to see Johnny up and putting his clothes on
         Eb MajorEb
She says those romantic young boys
     Bb majorBb
All they ever want to do is fight
    Eb MajorEb
Those romantic young boys they're callin' through the window
                Bb majorBb             FF
Hey Spanish Johnny, you want to make a little easy money tonight?

And Johnny whispered

CHORUS 2:
Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb    FF
Good night, it's all tight Jane
   Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb        FF
I'll meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane
    Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb       FF
We may find it out on the street tonight baby
  Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb        FF
Or we may walk until the daylight maybe

CHORUS 3:
  Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb    FF
Oh Good night, it's all right Jane
     Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb        FF
I'm gonna meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane
     Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb       FF
Oh we can find it out on the street tonight baby
  Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb        FF
Or we may walk until the daylight maybe

CHORUS 4:
  Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb    FF
Ah Good night, it's all right Jane
   Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb        FF
I'll meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane
      Bb majorBb           Eb MajorEb       FF
Now we may find it out on...on the street tonight baby
     Bb majorBb           Eb MajorEb      FF
Or we may have to walk until the morning light ahhh
